perf trace beauty: Beautify arch_prctl()'s arguments
This actually so far, AFAIK is available only in x86, so the code was
put in place with x86 prefixes, in arches where it is not available it
will just not be called, so no further mechanisms are needed at this
time.
Later, when other arches wire this up, we'll just look at the uname
(live sessions) or perf_env data in the perf.data header to auto-wire
the right beautifier.
With this the output is the same as produced by 'strace' when used with
the following ~/.perfconfig:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[llvm]
dump-obj = true
[trace]
add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
show_zeros = yes
show_duration = no
no_inherit = yes
show_timestamp = no
show_arg_names = no
args_alignment = -40
show_prefix = yes
#
And, on fedora 29, since the string tables are generated from the kernel
sources, we don't know about 0x3001, just like strace:

-arch_prctl(0x3001 /* ARCH_??? */, 0x7ffc8a92dc80) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

-arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x7faf6700f540) = 0
+arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x7fb507364540) = 0
And that seems to be related to the CET/Shadow Stack feature, that
userland in Fedora 29 (glibc 2.28) are querying the kernel about, that
0x3001 seems to be ARCH_CET_STATUS, I'll check the situation and test
with a fedora 29 kernel to see if the other codes are used.
A diff that ignores the different pointers for different runs needs to
be put in place in the upcoming regression tests comparing 'perf trace's
output to strace's.
